bobcat remodel

[balmy badger]

Bobcats need to not just be a reskin of the lynx! Bobcat max weight being 99 lbs is insane, northeastern bobcats rarely grow over 40 pounds, with the largest official weight ever being 49 pounds, and mexican bobcats are smaller, rarely growing over 30 pounds.
Also bobcats in the northeast have longer hair and are darker than mexican bobcats, as shown in the photos.
I understand lynx being class 3 but bobcats should probably be class 2, because they are really the same size if not smaller than coyotes.

[quick bear]

Yes

[earnest bobcat]

Also,Dear lord Bump them down to class two,maybe even class one for Bobcats (heavy emphasis on maybe)

[balmy badger]

two definitely works, irl they’re hunted exactly the same as coyotes

[earnest bobcat]

[median notch]

Yes, change their weight and make them class 2.

I'd also like to see them backfilled to Mississippi Acres

[earnest bobcat]

Coyote should get a rework then added on there as well.

[balmy badger]

Yeah bobcats and coyotes would be nice on mississippi

[median notch]

yeah coyotes too

[earnest bobcat]

Would pretty much cap off Mississippi for me if they aren’t adding more ducks.

[quick bear]

I would love to see Nutria there myself

[earnest bobcat]

Oooh them too! Waters edge is kinda boring,other than alligators.

[balmy badger]

beavers nutria and ducks would make that map so much more fun

Bobcat for sure needs to be bumped down to 2, raccooon bumped to 1 and turkey bumped up to 2 imo. No way are you killing a turkey with a .22 other than a head shot at any sort of distance.

I only just found this out but I agree it's quite ridiculous. There should also be coyote subspecies specified in the game as there are many subspecies heavier than Bobcats.

[median notch]

It would make sense if the Coyotes on New England were bigger than the ones on other maps, because Eastern Coyotes are bigger than the ones in the western U.S.

Yeah but who shoots a turkey with a 223

[exotic grotto]

in Texas, Florida, Alabama, Colorado, Maryland, Missouri, Virginia, Wyoming, West Virginia, Oklahoma, Utah, Montana is legal hunting a turkey with .223 xD

[slender prairie]

I would be more concerned about 30-30 and 243 on turkeys in cotw xD

[quiet badger]

Thats is false. Just because that comes up on google does not make it true.

Here is the list of links to each state's turkey hunting regulation.

Upland and Turkey Regulations for Montana

It does specify that rifles are legal for turkeys, along with shotguns, bows, crossbows, handguns and air guns

Then of course you got New Zealand

[quiet badger]

That is a list. I can go make a list myself and post it on the web. It is not correct. 100% illegal in Missouri. I visited a few other state websites the last time this list was posted and the ones I looked up are illegal also. I do think there are a cpuple states that have a fall season thats its legal but thats about it.

[quick bear]

So you are correct, Missouri does not allow Turkey to be hunted with Rifles so I imagine some of the linked articles are either presenting misinformation or are outdated, though it does appear that besides Montana the other states that allow it include Utah (Rimfire Only), Virginia, Texas (Except for Spring Turkey in certain counties), Maryland (Fall Season Only), Colorado (Fall Season), West Virginia, Oklahoma (Fall Season Only) and Wyoming

Though I should also mention that we should all return the direction of this thread back to the bobcats, which are no longer reaching the 90kg mark anymore which is a good fix for the bobcats

This is like the 5th post I've seen for an animal remodel. At this point somebody should look into hiring a new model designer or two because sheesh.

[cobalt halo]

Class 2 would be fine, but I think they should make it to where you can only head shot them with a rifle, no body shots. Irl you’d absolutely ruin the meat by shooting a turkey in the body.

[rigid valve]

It's just the older models tbh, the recent ones are REALLY good

[quiet badger]

I agree. God put turkeys on Earth to be shot in the face. Or with a bow. Man you have to put it right down the pipe with it facing you not to ruin the meat with a rifle

[cobalt halo]

Or a broadside head shot. Not ideal but in game it would work.

[proven nymph]

Agreed. They have improved over the years. Now mostly they just need tweaks instead of remodels. I seen some folks saying the Tahr weren't really correct

[earnest bobcat]

Needs the dramatic flopping animation.

[balmy badger]

almost to 100

[cobalt halo]

Now at 100

[rotund sequoia]

Despite being cat fan number one I forgot how bad they where
